Seestern 62MAS (Is the homage better than the original?)

This Seestern 62MAS homage is the first Chinese micro brand watch I ever purchased.
It might actually be the best value for money dive watch available right now! #watches #everydaycarry #seestern #unboxing

[@glenh4971]

I love Chinese watches. I didn't at first because I was buying a lot of junk. Sometimes I still receive some junk. Once you begin to actually learn something about Chinese watches you can find good quality like this Seestern example. I like San Martin watches myself but I can see why you would like this Seestern 62mas homage.

I’m keeping my eyes on a few San Martin pieces! Going to have to pick some up

[@BobbyG3752]

Seiko divers are incredible mostly. The case shapes the dials the Lume . But they are getting expensive. These homage watches lately are beating established brands so bad. You get solid bracelets endlinks , sapphire, ar coating , good Lume on some models , " all should do better Lume". Screw down crowns , . How many Swiss and Japanese watches still using mineral glass hollow end links folded bracelet, stamped clasp terrible Lume, no screw down crown and cost 10x .

[@MajorLeagueEDC]

Exactly! And I’m all for the little guys disrupting the market.

[@ProjectSerpo90]

I agree 100% i now have a Seestern Sub 300, San Martin Pelagos and Octopus Kraken Seamaster 007 and each one is absolutely fantastic and better than the last. I have swiss watches that cost 10x as much and don’t hold a candle to these Chinese homages. Its scary how good they are but im taking full advantage of it.

[@majin-vegeta90]

I have 3 Seiko 3 seestern. Lume amazing on both, crown action actually better on seestern, I'll call straps and bracelet about equal. Seiko just looks more put together, pure white loom, nice chapter rings, original dials. Price obv goes to seestern

[@jonathanworth2131]

Heimdallr skx007 is a Great Watch. Will be picking up this Seestern 62mas next, thanks for the review!

[@danschlacks7188]

I have all 3 colorways of this watch; obviously, I'm a big fan. Its comfortable, looks great and is very accurate. Great review, I've subscribed.

[@MajorLeagueEDC]

Thank you for the support!

[@springbay1]

I ordered my first Heimdallr watch today on AliExpress. That burgundy dial on their Godzilla could just not leave me alone

[@MajorLeagueEDC]

Awesome!

[@knutjunker2019]

I am sneaking around this heimdallr since almost one and a half years, because i like the Grand Seiko design so much. How is it on the wrist? I know it's a big one.

[@springbay1]

@@knutjunker2019 I wish i could help with some hands on info. But my watch is still doing a slow boat from China with approximate delivery date on April 7th. I'm a 19,5cm/7,6inch wrister, so I feel somewhat confident it will not be too large to handle. The channel "The Watcher" did a review on the watch called "The Monstrous Heimdallr GS Godzilla Homage" if you want to see someone fiddling around with the watch. the current Ali Express sale ends tomorrow, so if you are in no hurry, I'm sure it will be available on the next one as well.

[@ProjectSerpo90]

Awesome review. As soon as you started getting into the history of the piece i hit the subscribe button. I love hearing the backstory of pieces i love. Keep up the good work man, hope this channel blows up.

[@MajorLeagueEDC]

Thank you for your support!

[@knutjunker2019]

The Watch looks absolutely great. BTW: »Seestern« ist the german name for »Starfish«. The Chinese know how to sell watches with european sounding brand names like Seestern, Heimdallr, Hroudland and so on.

[@ProjectSerpo90]

You are correct. It’s pronounced “zay-stern” in German and does indeed mean starfish. Cool little detail.

[@claycox5285]

I just found your channel and thoroughly enjoyed your review of this great, casual watch. I own this exact watch and love it. The lume is fantastic and has solid overall build quality. I own quite a few higher priced watches and wear this quite often. Highly recommend

[@MajorLeagueEDC]

Thank you for watching!

[@watchalot919]

Just about every Chinese homage of a Seiko I have ever seen is better than the original, and always a lot cheaper. Seestern are part of the Suggess group

[@kerkiraz]

Excluding the loom I’m riding your boat fella 👍

[@watchalot919]

I think you will find the lume on most San Martin watches will give Seiko a run for their money

[@marcuscarlgren6994]

Would love to know more about that AD experience?

[@9426sunny]

Seiko's biggest mistake is supplying NH35, NH36, NH34 movement to everybody.

[@eigrp]

If Seiko didn't sell their movements it'd just mean more business for Miyota, Seagull, etc. Might as well at least sell a movement if you can't sell the whole watch.

[@iwantshinythings]

When I first started collecting I started with these. When you start buying higher end seikos there is a big difference. Does it justify the huge price difference. Not sure. But there is a gap in quality. But it is an awesome place to start.

[@andrewtaylor9799]

Features like sapphire crystal, solid movement, and adequate finishing of 316L steel, are great for the price. But each time I get interested in a Ali Express watch, there are some design or QC issues. On this one, the strap length is problem that can be fixed, but I also see complaints about the crown not working properly or even falling out.

[@Edward1312]

The one criticism I have, is the crown feels flimsy when you pull it out to regulate the hands.

[@bmxtime89]

Very true!

[@ekkanofiqandriyana7325]

Yes Lot of homages from small brands are better than original

[@MajorLeagueEDC]

Agreed. Now that I know that I’m on the hunt for more!

[@marcuscarlgren6994]

​@@MajorLeagueEDC check out steeldive sd1970 if you haven't 😊

[@michaelmcclellanjr9831]

Is there a bigger one? 42mm?

[@MajorLeagueEDC]

I don’t believe so

[@majin-vegeta90]

San Martin makes 42 with similar finishing

[@flamabl1]

You don't think its been regulated? Really?

[@jeffreyalbarandorivera8595]

The reason why people promotes microbrands is because they are cheap while the original seiko getting more expensive and that's the part of the plan. Sadly you still usiing a seiko machine inside that seestem..The reason why seiko are getting more expensive is because some company degraded seiko as cheap and low end watches. Seiko now think well thats okey we have to increase our prices.

[@williamsipe1151]

It's not too hard to make a watch that's better than a seiko
